I am the webmaster of Chesham Youth Theatre's website. [URL=http://cheshamyouththeatre.tripod.com]http://CheshamYouthTheatre.tripod.com[/URL] The site uses cascading stylesheets but they are not effective if you are viewing the site with a mac. The stylesheet is incorporated in the head of the document. If anyone knows why it won't work please let me know. , ,

Could some help me please, I have been trying to find out how you go about getting a nice little icon/image (instead of a file) to appear next to the name of a web site on the Favorites bar when you add a site to Favourites., Does anybody know how this is done as I haven't a clue.

I have to create a "Voting" poll on the front page of my homepage. Also want to create something that will store the votes that are selected. Maybe even store what question i was asking and the number of votes for the answers associated with that question.
I do not have very much experience with html/php/etc. I have seen alot of websites that you can make a voting poll and put their code in your website but in some way it links their website to your website and i dont like that, so i was wondering if anyone could possibly lead me in the right direction of making my own. I use Dreamweave for my html editing needs...
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

im new at all of this so this is a really stupid thing to ask but anyways here is my question:, , i have put some wav files on my web pages, some of them are rather large. more than 100K. my problem is that when the links they are attached to are clicked there is a considerable delay before any sound is heard becase the files are so large. once the file loads once the problem is over with but i would like to know how to load them when the page loads to avoid this situation., , its an onload thing im sure but i just dont know how to use it in this situation., , any help would be appreciated. thank you---

correct...here is a quick walkthrough of what you would do..., , Open the doc in Publisher, Print the doc to distiller (you will be prompted to enter a file name for the PDF), Post the PDF on your webserver., , Thats about it..., , HTH

Make sure you keep all sensitive data as secure as it needs to be and if you're creating your own ecommerce software and not implementing an already built solution (shameless product plug: Prestwood Software's ASPSuite product has a fully built and customizable eStore module) be sure to keep a potential customer in mind and make the experience as easy as possible.

Laying out single-page HTML notices with FrontPage 2000. These E-notifications are intended to be sent by e-mail. Most images come through OK, however, when I place an image or animation in a table as a background for that table (i.e. to overlay type or images within the table) the background image does not show up when e-mailed to others. Mine looks fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No problem, glad my input helped out. It sounds like you're past it now. , , For others and completeness up here, to correctly embed an image in Frontpage and email it, just make sure the graphic is on the web some place and use a fully qualified URL.

If you mean, "I want to have a link on a page in IE open up Netscape or Mozilla" then yer shucks outta luck, as far as I know., , If you mean simply that when a visitor clicks a link a new window opens altogether, then use the code:, , This is the link they click.

Hi All,, , I use FrontPage for building my websites and am currently trying to solve the dilemma of what shopping cart to use for e-commerce. My host supplies cart32 v3.5, but in my tests some kind of scary things happened, like order number 2 overwrote information in order number1. I am debating whether to write my own, or use the basics of someone else's. I see many advantages in this process since we are in the process of selling our services in the web design area. My dilemma is what one should choose to write in these days and I am hoping this will generate some spirited debate. , , One can choose Cold Fusion, cgi(perl), java, etc. I am looking for Windows-based solutions and want to be able to use PayPal to take payments. , , I am looking forward to the feedback to come., , Karen

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that you can actually download a little front pagbe plug in to help build your items. It does a great deal of the product building for you, then you can just tweak the html code or whatever you wanted. Its called Commerce Monkey

When I did register with DirectNIC, I thought I had a good deal - 15 bucks for a year of domain name... but then I realized that it's a hassle. I can't seem to get prestwood's hosting plan to work nicely with it. For example, I can see my web site there... but if I send any email to anything@gizzar.com (my registered name is gizzar.com), it bounces back and says the domain isn't recognized or something...

When one opens a frames page, each frame then opens on it's default page. And I can navigate to open different pages within the frames. , , Now, I can either link to the frames page opening each frame on it's respective default page, or I can link to whatever page of content that I have located. But not to open within the frame set. , , So, HOW do I create a link that opens the right page WITHIN the intended frame set? My Internet Explorer Favorites do open the desired specific pages within their framesets, exactly as they appeared when I clicked "Add To Favorites". , , But I have thus far failed to incorporate a favorite as a link in a webpage of my own making.

The search box is just a search box. Each tool calls it something different. As for learning how to create great web sites, you learn by doing. So dive in and start creating the best web site you can. Read alot. Visit alot of sites and figure out how to duplicate the features you like.

It is [b]NOT[/b] recommended to run executables from a web page due to the potential security risk., , However, there are several ways you could do this. Here are a couple:, , 1.

Here is the site I am working on for myself., http://www.lanedesignonline.com , As is often the case it looks good in some browsers but has problems in others. There are a few problems I haven' been able to figure out. I will list them by browser, , [b]IE6 for Windows[/b], The background image for my navigation bar isn't showing up in IE6, does anyone know why? Also the red color for my footer seems to bleed up into my columns on everypage but the homepage., , [b]Firefox for OSX[/b], Adds a ton of space to the bottom of my container., , Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Phil,
I apologise for the tardy reply.
I've viewed your site in both IE7 and FireFox 2.0.0.4. It looks like you've solved the problems.
Your site looks great (and the same), in either browser.
Nice work.
